Disturbance at the Heron House

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry.

"They're going wild" the call came in 
At early morning predawn then 
"The followers of chaos out of control 
They're numbering the monkeys 
The monkeys and the monkeys " 
The followers of chaos out of control 

"They're meeting at the monument" 
The call came in the monument 
To liberty and honor under the honor roll 
"They've gathered up the cages the cages and courageous" 
The followers of chaos out of control 

The call came in to Party Central 
"Meeting of the green and simple" 
Try to tell us something we don't know 

"Disturbance at the Heron House" 
A stampede at the monument 
To liberty and honor under the honor roll 
The gathering of grunts and greens 
Cogs and grunts and hirelings 
A meeting of a mean idea to hold 
"When feeding time has come and gone 
They'll lose the heart and head for home 
Try to tell us something we don't know"
